Calendar Challenge Jan/Feb

First page completed on my calendar journal. Making the page is fun, the challenge is to focus on just one thing to write about. Almost 125 people joined this challenge in January, and I managed to visit about 90% of them and leave a comment. I know that I will not be able to do this each month.

February's page is made and ready to start journalling in, I have added a few notes already. The idea for this page came from a link on a blog I read by The Magic Bean. The article was about valentines Day and the template for the tree from Disneyfamily.com. I want to add some heart doodles to the page during the month, but need to buy some pens. Luckily a new craft show is on this weekend at Bluewater, Kent. It is two shows in one, covering creative stitches and hobbycrafts. Have a look at the link to see all the exhibitors, it looks like a great show.

At the beginning of the month I drew up a chart for the year to help me focus on my textile projects and hopefully hit deadlines. So far I am on track 100%. The past couple of years at work have not been very pleasant and I hadn't realised how the negative attitude there at spilled over into my private life. I always used to be an achiever, but of late I had become a thinker and talker, and not a putting those ideas into practise. I am positive that all of this will change this year.

Today, I also start a three month programme with a personal trainer at Virgin Active. I have already had a taster class, so I know what I am letting myself in for, but I am not looking forward to this afternoon or tomorrow when I will ache all over.
